“I’m the boss around here and you have no right to tell me the dos and donts. Even when I’m a student, you’re still under me! ”
“Mr Mico, I’m. ..I’m sorry…”
“Your apologies are worthless! Now get your sorry butts out of my building because I don’t want to see your ugly face ever again!”
“Mr Mico…”
He ignored everything the man tried to say – even his cousins – as he started walking out of the class.
I kept looking in shock.
I’ve heard of rumours of how angry and aggressive Mico was and today, I’ve just witnessed it
He kept walking with so much rage until he got to where I was seated and he suddenly stopped and looked at me.
My heart gave a mighty leap as we exchanged glances at each other for some time. And I kind of felt scared towards him.
A soft look crept into his face – which I couldn’t understand . His eyes dropped as he took them away and finally flounced out of the class.
I was still very shocked about Mico’s attitude. Why was he that rude?
With way he behaves, how can he ever get to love me? He acts too cold.
Sandy and I were walking together to the bookstore and she was doing most of the talking. I wasn’t really paying attention but just kept thinking about Mico.
On our way, we ran into someone I really didn’t want to see – the abusive vice principal – Mrs Tamara.
She stopped in front of us and my joy seized. Was she going to bully me again?
“Good day, Mrs Tamara” sandy greeted.
“G…Good day, ma” I also greeted, keeping my head low a little.
“Good day, Sandy.
“Alyssa can I have a word with you, please?” She asked and I flinched.
What is she upto? She even added” ‘please’.
But…her face was kind of soft. She wasn’t looking as hard and grumpy as she always did when talking to me. And…Oh! She was holding a drink.
